Tuition for the 2007-2008 school year for Grades K-12 is $15,725.

Punahou is the most prestigious elite private school in HI. To put it in perspective, the tuition for undergrad at the University of Hawaii per semester for 12 credits is $3,129 (for HI residence).

Did Hunter Thompson merely write (for rhetorical effect) that Charles Colson would walk over his own grandmother if necessary (and Colson didn’t actually say it)??

Hezbollah also hides behind “good social works” work performing terrorist acts.

He is too smart and too agile to succumb to easy categorization

I am so tired of hearing this kind of stuff. Like many others, Mona is confusing his eloquence with unusually high intelligence.

Certainly Obama is smart. But brilliant he is not. Just look at all the illogical things he says.

He is easily categorized. Significantly above average intelligence, with a bias toward verbal ability.

EVERY woman has flinched when strange men get too close, stare, or in some way make them uncomfortable.

Isn’t that the truth??? As one who moved to the South less than 10 years ago, I still deal with this nutty phenomenon - for some reason, redneck guys just can’t stop themselves from stopping and offering a ride to any woman they see walking down the street. (As if it’s somehow not acceptable to walk down the street!) In their world, they think they are being nice, caring Southern men. But, good grief, DO THEY NOT KNOW THAT WOMEN ARE CONSTANTLY INSTRUCTED NEVER to accept a ride or get involved with a total stranger?? It’s a cultural divide, but you would think by now they would have figured it out. It’s a line not to be crossed. We are strangers - don’t offer me a ride. Ande leave me alone, cause I am about to get nasty with you for violating my space.

He flew her in to do that to her???

Our man Obama: has belonged to a racist America hating church for 20 years; brings his innocent children to that church so that their minds might be poisoned with lies and hatred; chooses a life partner who was not proud of America; stabs his own grandmother in the back, ruining her reputation for political advantage.
He has no character. A media creation. I wouldn't want to sit next to this guy on a bus, let alone elect him president.

Actually, in Obama’s tale, his grandma was hassled at the bus stop, not on the bus. She gave the panhandler a dollar but he was aggressively demanding more when the bus came and she was able to board it. Obama’s doesn't say, but apparently his grandma was alone at the bus stop and there were no other pedestrians nearby. The story came up because she asked grandpa to give her a lift to work the next morning. She did not want to wait alone at that bus stop again. Can anyone but a race-hustling demagogue blame her? Did this make her the moral equivalent of the venomous, frothing-at-the-mouth, racist Wright?

when it came time to decide where his daughters would attend church, he chose Trinity, where they would “learn” that the U.S. government concocted the AIDS virus to wipe out the African-American population, that the U.S. would “plant” WMDs in Iraq, and that blacks harming other blacks are “fighting the wrong enemy.”
Not just an unfit candidate. Obama is an unfit parent.

Worse then Michael Jackson dangling his baby from the balcony.

It’s less about tuition (which is heavily subsidized by trust funds set up for native Hawaiians) than it is about who gets in-—check it out further

Especially check it out during the time Obama was a student there and Asians were being excluded by designed admissions discrimination

That’s right. It’s actually called Being Aware of Your Surroundings. Using common sense to keep yourself safe — now that is suspect too? And it shows that you are a racist?

Well, I grew up in Los Angeles and it is STUPID not to be aware of — panhandlers, traffic, men of any race who swagger and look like they are up to no good, etc. and etc.

What’s moral about Code White? About assuming that everyone is of good moral character? That is just denial and naivete. No thank you.

What I meant was she was in front of the bus on Tuesday and behind it on Thursday....

Obama was on Mercer Island at around that time, IIRC. When we lived on Mercer Island, my wife called the school busses twinkies: yellow on the outside with a rich white filling.
